Ah, Dodge flew them up to Portland, ME. Same event as the TFL Car thing.
Ya think? I mean the business case makes sense. People in the snow belt now have one less excuse to buy that muscle car looking thing. Hey, it is only a V6 so it's fuel efficient, honey!World’s first all-wheel-drive muscle coupe needs more muscle

So 14.5 @ 97 on the RWD one. I'd estimate 14.5 @ 95 for the AWD GT. Which isn't terrible but it isn't terribly exciting, either. That is only a little faster than my SRX.In testing, a rear-drive 2015 Dodge Challenger SXT Plus with the Pentastar and the eight-speed automatic on 20-inch wheels reached 60 mph in 6.0 seconds and finished the quarter-mile in 14.5 seconds at 96.9 mph. The SXT Plus took 105 feet to stop from 60 mph. It also lapped the figure eight in 25.9 seconds at 0.73 g lateral average and pulled 0.91 g on the skidpad. We expect the all-wheel-drive Challenger GT to be slightly slower in acceleration tests, though the all-wheel-drive system and Charger Pursuit-based suspension has the potential to improve on those handling figures.
